Reply to Another stellar ad from VisitBaltimore. Just a reminder that the CEO makes $400K a year. by Cepia
They had some really good catchy ads last year on streaming services....made me come down and enjoy your city...but this is a hot mess...that tells me nothing about the city nor does it make me want to come.

I wish I had enough money to donate to all of these organizations. I hope this also gives a signal boost to other Redditors who are looking to donate money today.

Hollie hasn't worked there in over a year, last I heard she's distilling on the west coast now.

It really hasn’t been too bad in recent times. It seems like if you get there before 6-6:30 you’re likely to get a table right away. People line up before 5 to get in but there’s still plenty of seats since they expanded the dining room.

Open Gate was specifically opened to produce blonde so it’s a stupid point especially since the pic looks exactly like their most famous beer which isn’t made there
That commenter never said that open gate ONLY makes Guinness blonde, u misunderstood them

Thanks for this information. I will admit that I am not well informed on many of these matters.

I would NOT recommend Gene Frazier, we had a horrible experience with his group.

It’s kind of crazy that ever since the election the feds have been digging around and also he wasn’t baiting the birds they were hunting over a field that was cut a few days before they hunted it

We used Ally and had a wonderful experience their online portal made everything super easy and they were fairly responsive to us. We went with them strictly on a they were the cheapest rates and their loan estimater with no credit check was really useful when we’re in the research stage.

We also used First Home Mortgage (specifically David Starleper for refinancing last year) and they were fantastic!

Darcars Toyota didn't give me metal plates until the day the paper ones expired. They suck, don't go there.

The Pratt Library! In addition to the normal library stuff, they provide legal and social worker services as well as lend sewing machines/computers/all sorts of things. Plus lots of great programming for kids.

Just closed on a house using Tom Cumpston with First Home Mortgage. Him and his team were amazing to work with and bent over backwards to help me out.

But…..that’s all the webpage does…..promote local breweries. You have to scroll by 10 locals before you even see Guinness.
Often the biggest issue with churning out this kind of content is quickly getting available acceptable to use images (either licensed, approved, or public domain). Guinness was going to be the quickest and easiest option. That’s just how things shake out sometimes.

Reply to Driving down E Pratt street, saw some yellow flashing traffic lights. Slowed down to proceed with caution and then a freaking MARC train cut across the street. Shouldn’t there be like… a retractable barrier or at least red lights? by Trailmagic
Lol I love how your brain chose MARC as the train, meanwhile MARC stock has the name plastered all over the side. Is that just the only rail based transport you're aware of in Baltimore?

This.
Get off of your cell phone when you're walking, pay attention to where you are.
If you're working on their campus, they have a campus escort they will take you from your building to your parking garage/apartment if you feel it's necessary.
Welcome to the City, u/whatugonnadowhenthey ! Come into the City with a positive outlook and you'll love it here.

Well, how are people even supposed to know that that is a pool by the hotel? How are people supposed to know what hotel it is? And what’s with the nameless shopping bag?

Some of the best performing content on the internet is written at a 5th or 6th grade level. But hey, its reddit, so let's shit on anyone that shows an inch of success.

For punk I'd look at the venues in Station North. Joe Squared, Ottobar, Metro Gallery.
Also definitely hit the American Visionary Art Museum.

Um. Based on what logic? Walking around printing tickets is far more attractive of a profession than being a fucking cop in Baltimore.. not even danger aspect just because there is such hate (justifiably) for police here.
What they really need to do is put traffic/non-emergency services etc. under an entirely seperate authority.

Instead of Healthcare for the Homeless, donate to Housing our Neighbors. They're a homeless led group organizing to end homelessness. They led the way to homeless folks being housed in vacant hotels during the pandemic instead of death trap shelters that had inhumane conditions even before the pandemic.
Healthcare for the Homeless does not share this mission- they treat the symptoms of homelessness, not the cause. Not saying that's not important, but its not the solution, either. This thread is full of recommendations for groups that work to make the poor more comfortable, but don't address the causes of poverty. Charity is not enough.

I used MECU. Great experience and they are local.
